[Johan Edlund]
Daddy where are you now?
Forgot about your vow?
You promised you'd return and take me to Earth
Did you have to fight that war?
What was it all for?
The honor of one's name, what is it worth?
[Johan Edlund, Floor Jansen]
I'm all alone. (We're all alone.)
My future's unknown. (Our future's unknown.)
I reach out to the stars out here in my house on Mars
[Johan Edlund]
Mother did you hear me cry?
You never told me why
You put me in this world of rock and dust
No friends for playing games
No foes who scorn my name
Computerized machines of steel and rust
[Johan Edlund, Floor Jansen]
Is this my home? (This is our home?)
This desolate dome. (His desolate dome.)
I call out to the stars, "I'm alone in my house on Mars."
[Johan Edlund]
I'll never smell the ocean breeze
I'll never climb the highest trees
I'll never feel the burning sun
I'll never meet my chosen one... in my house
Daddy I forgive you now
You could not keep your vow
You will never return, I'll never see Earth
[Johan Edlund, Floor Jansen]
My time has come. (Our time has come.)
I'm emotionally numb. (Emotionally numb.)
I'm headed for the stars, I'm leaving my house on Mars
No friends in my house on Mars
No foes in my house on Mars
I was born in my house on Mars
I will die in my house on Mars
